Neratinib + Valproate in Advanced Solid Tumors, w/Expansion Cohort in Ras-Mutated Ca
brief summary
To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of neratinib and sodium valproate when given to patients with advanced solid tumors. Then to explore the antitumor effects of the neratinib and sodium valproate combination in advanced solid tumors with attention to RAS-mutated tumors, EGFR-altered GBM, and ocular melanoma, as part of the phase 2 expansion cohort.
detailed description
The purpose of this trial is to test the safety of combining 2 drugs, neratinib (Nerlynx) and divalproex sodium (Depakote DR), also commonly called valproate, when treating patients with advanced cancer.
In an earlier stage of this trial the purpose was to test different doses of neratinib in combination with divalproex sodium to see which doses should be used in future research trials. This trial will also help us to learn how advanced tumors respond to the combination of neratinib and divalproex sodium.
